1. Rock Art Brewery

Vermont brewery known for its hand-made beer.
Reviewed By kcschueler - Nine Mile Falls, Washington
This is a tasting room and gift shop. The wife of the brewer was "manning" the bar. The bar was beautiful and made by her brother. They have great beer but the best was the Vermonters Brandywine was the best. With 10% abv and 100 ibu it is very well balanced. The spruce stout was good too. Thanks for the recommendation to drive to Willoughby lake.

My husband and I recently spent three nights at the Governor's House, and it was a wonderful experience. Our hostess, Suzanne, was very helpful, informative, and an interesting conversationalist. It was a birthday getaway, and she came up with a great suggestion for dinner and made reservations for us. We stayed in the Garden Room, which was attractive, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast was served in the beautiful dining room with a lovely view of the back lawn, and one evening we enjoyed a glass of wine on the private patio that overlooked the rolling front lawn. It was a quick drive to the charming town of Stowe along beautiful country roads, and we also took an hour-long drive to Woodstock. There are plenty of nearby outdoor activities to enjoy, such as zip lining and hiking (check out Smugglers' Notch). In fact, within walking distance is a lovely rail trail that takes the walker into some beautiful farming country and along a river. On our last morning, my husband and I were the only two guests at breakfast, and Suzanne arranged a small intimate spot for us to have breakfast in front of the picture window in the dining room. It made for a lovely experience and memory. Our stay the The Governor's House was a relaxing and peaceful getaway.

Between the West Branch River and Route 108 is a biking trail full of scenic vistas and small town atmosphere.
Reviewed By Kathy E - Stowe, Vermont
No matter what season it is, the Rec Path has something for everyone. Magnificent mountain views, streams, rivers, meandering paths through fields, across bridges, through woodlands. Walk, hike, snowshoe, cross country ski, bike, picnic, rest on benches along the way- something for everyone. Parking in town behind the community church and taking the path all the way out and back is 11 miles. A must see for all to enjoy when visiting.

I was so disappointed.
When we got there and call them on the walkie-talkie nobody answered for 20 minutes. We waited in the cold and with no cell reception were unable to reach anybody at all. Luckily we were we could hear the dogs barking and walked up the road ourselves. When we got there they didn't apologize at all. We were supposed to be a private group but because two ladies were late they took them first. We were a group of 4 so they could have taken us.
It was as if they felt sorry for the ladies being late.

Smugglers' Notch offers fun for the whole family no matter the season.
Reviewed By JVRyan - Troy, New York
Started coming here in the 70's and it was always a great resort for families. I must add that I hadn't been here in 30 some years and the new corporate regiment isn't for me. its very obvious that the corporate influence has a bunch of your kids that can't make a decision and have to ask a supervisor for the littlest task decision. Its also intrusive, when you try to buy a lift ticket they ask so much personal info to obviously market hound you a few weeks after you leave. Its still a great mountain but this resort corporate thing is for the birds. We stayed at a great cabin down the road. As for the food, day one it was very good, the second day we ordered the same soups and wings, awful. But it was Christmas so maybe the good cook was off!

Be sure to stop here. Tim's wife was running the place with her dog. She doesn't like guys but eventually warmed up. If only we had the ability to pack them all home in our carryon. They have a quality operation.So glad you enjoyed your visit! Just to clarify, the dog is a bit fearful of men. Tim's wife is friendly to everyone, regardless of gender. :)
8. Moss Glen Falls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 206 reviews
With a short walk, you can enjoy a ravine with a waterfall.
Reviewed By Weekend_Roamer1 - Warrington, United Kingdom
A short ten minute drive out of Stowe and a right turn onto Randolph Road and another right onto Moss Glen Falls gets you to this trailhead. Parking for about 15 cars on the roadside and the trail is well presented. Footing is good but in wet conditions the wooden boardwalk section can become slippery. Stoic footwear is recommended but I did see people in trainers make it to the top.
There are two basic paths, one that stays with the stream and the other which takes you to the short ascent to the top view. My wife is not the most athletic person and she managed it fine but did decline the short walk alongside the stream and across the strategically placed 'stepping stones' to get the best views.
Obviously, the flow over the waterfall will depend upon how much rain the area has seen and in October we got quite an impressive flow. Not as spectacular as waterfalls in Canada, Austria and Germany but for the area it was certainly worth the visit and small amount of exertion needed. give yourself 15 minutes each way to walk it and then however long you want to spend looking at the beauty.

Lovely beach on Elmore Lake, concession stand, changing rooms, picnic areas...and, for a change of pace, two trails up Elmore Mountain, northernmost peak of the Worcester Range...glorious views west to Mt Mansfield and beyond, east to the main ranges of the White Mountains. Sporty hike up the Ridge Trail, Elmore Mtn trail is shorter, but much steeper just below the fire tower.
10. Green River Reservoir State Park

4.5 based on 9 reviews
Reviewed By Liz L - NH
Green River Reservoir is a great place for day use or overnight camping at their paddle-out camp sites. The reservoir is great for paddle boating, swimming and fishing. There are two boat launch sites, one with wheel chair access. You can buy bundles of wood at the camp office. It was so quiet, only the sound of loons at night.
